Love Poem: Especially For You

Especially For You

Tunnel digging with warped minds 
We meet right at the centre
Into the passages of rhyme
Joining hands as we enter
Through looking glass we travel
Along the course of time
Emotion spurred to ask you now
To be my valentine
Sand granules of placid hours 
Come together in song
Knowing patience as a virtue
But just won’t wait that long
Pollen spores of beauty’s flower
Peacefully remains
Fairy dust with sleeping power
Ripeness uncontained
Butterflies and bumble bees
Contagious with their needs
Shall spread our loving humbly
Content with free release
In Winter we’ll remember
In yearning as we ponder
And curse the present absence
That makes the heart grow fonder
Squinting eyes from radiant face
Emitting sunshine smiles
Happiness entwined with grace
And rainbow toasted guile
Marshmallows and candy floss
On flowerbeds of clouds
Gentle dreams with stars embossed
And candy coated shrouds
